Summary
Zac Poonen explains that Christ's suffering on the cross was not primarily physical but spiritual—the breaking of His eternal fellowship with God the Father as He bore the guilt of humanity's sin. Jesus faced the punishment for sin, which is separation from God (hell), during the final three hours of darkness on the cross, a spiritual agony infinitely greater than physical torture. Poonen challenges believers to understand that fellowship with God is the most precious thing, yet most Christians carelessly break it through sin and never grasp what Jesus truly endured for them.
